Now, rise up and come to sit on your knees and shins. Bring this yoga strap right down to your upper thighs. Adjust the length again and tighten this yoga strap around your thighs to your comfort.

Make sure it is tight around the thighs and gives support to your hips.

Note:The yoga strap around the upper thighs will support the hips for a backbend. The alignment of the posture here with support is also encouraged.

Now as you rest the body on your knees and shins in kneeling down position, take a few breaths here placing the hands on the wall stretched upwards while the entire front part of the body presses against the wall.

Inhale and slowly move the hands away from the wall and bring one hand at a time towards the heels. Push the wall with your thighs, lower abdomen and groin to go gradually with your hands down towards the heels.

As you are in the position breathe and use the wall to support the body to go in Camel Pose With Strap and Wall.
